God or money?
(Mark 10:17-22)
The pursuit of money
In past societies, if a man had no wages he faced literal starvation and death. A supply of money insulated him from the fear of death by starvation. Later, money replaced the supplies of food and clothing. Soon, those who had more money forgot the reason they had so much. Money became a purpose in itself, a status symbol and a measure of success.
Some rich people have tendency to become superior to those who have little or no money. They can enjoy their life of luxury, which is not available to others. They are given tremendous power and they think that they can use their money to rule over other people. ‘The love of money’ finally becomes idolatry. This is why the Apostle Paul said: ‘The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.’ (1 Tim. 6:10a)
The Lord Jesus talked a lot about money
